If passed, the $49.1 million library bond
Measure D on the November 5 ballot will upgrade the Children's library and
provide a new Mitchell Park library and community center.

support by sending an e-mail to shantha_rm@yahoo.com
agreeing to have your name (and your family members) be part of this list.

Our August and September book bag sales were huge,
but October's will be even bigger. Pick any books from our bargain
room for $2.00 a shopping bag, while most books from our other five rooms
will be just $5.00 a bag. We supply the bags too. The sale
lasts from 11 am to 2 pm on Sunday, October 13, next to the Terman Library at 661 Arastradero Road in Palo Alto.
We have to move whatever we don't sell, so please come and find all
the great books to go on your
shelves as you help empty ours!

We're Moving to Cubberley!

It's official. We're moving into 3,600 square feet of new relocatable
buildings at the Cubberley Community
Center, along the north driveway immediately adjacent to the Charleston
Shopping Center. Our October monthly book sale will still be at
Terman and we will have one more sale at Terman on November 9. Look
for much more information about the Cubberley sale site in next month's issue of this
newsletter and at our website.

Please Keep Donating

Just because we're moving doesn't mean that we don't
want your donated books, magazines, videos, CDs, and DVDs. Please continue to
drop them off at the Terman Park Library, Tuesdays through Saturdays from 2
pm to 6 pm, or at any time at the Friends of the Library book room donation drop
at the other end of the Terman Library building. Donations of one box or less may be taken to any Palo Alto library during regular business hours.

For assistance with large quantities of books, or if you are unable to deliver them to the Terman Library, please call
our volunteers at
650/493-5672 or 650/856-1862 or email us.

Your donations to the Friends of the Palo Alto Library
are fully tax-deductible to the complete extent allowed by law.
